Well now i can talk as Debian apache 1.x maintainer :D

apache 1.3.x will die (as debian package) as soon as sarge will release.
We didn't (and couldn't) kill it for warty due to an insane amount of
work that had to be done to do so.

apache 1.3 upstream gets only the minimal security and major bug fixes,
but nowadays it's only the former (generaly speaking).

it is definetely wise to start migrating to apache2 since now. The
configuration files are almost identical. imho only the suexec part is
slightly different.

Talking about modules, all the most important modules like perl, ssl,
php4 are now available for apache2. All the others will follow as soon
as a1.3 is out of the way.

Most distro already switched or are not supporting a1.3 anymore.
